(He added that the vi,- presidency would be given to the first man who would take it.) * * * The following names were then placed before the convention in the order in which they are named: From California come ,Hiram John- son and William McAdoo. The cheering for these two was not as great as it had been in other narty conventions when the two were men- tioned. Then followed William Hale Thonp- son, mayor of Chicago, Lu Small, Frank Lowden and Senator Smith all of Illinois. The ovation received by these men was tremendous. The galleries fairly rocked for an jor at the mention of the name of 1homp- son alone. And when Len Small and Smith were added the noise became unbearable. Then followed Borah of Idaho, Tag- gert of Indiana, Brookhart of Iowa, Ritchie of Maryland, and Brewster of Maine, none of whom created a great deal of excitement. The Michigan delegation had the next opportunity to place a few names before the convention and as Clarence Cook Little, spokesman for tree Michi- gan delegation arose, a great hush fell over the assembly, not even ti sound of an automobile was head passing Hill auditorium. He said, "I wish to place before this convention for con- sideration the names of Senator Ferris, Mayor Smith of Detroit, Governor Green, and Henry Ford. Ary of them' would make a fine president." After this the rest of the 'an(Ydates named were: Reed of Missouri, Bryan of Nebraska, Fall of New Mexicco, Smith of New York, Walker of New York, Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Vare of Pennsylvania, Vare of Pensyiv'inia, Richards of S'outh Carolina, Ma Fer- guson of Texas and Dern of Utah. Following the placing of these names before the convention the dele- gates decided to take a rest and all went out to their hotels to drink and arrange the way they would vote. It was rumored about that with the great number of candidates to choose from a dark horse would stand a splendid chance of winning the party's nomina- tion. Before the balloting began it seemed that Ford of Michigan, Vare of Penn- sylvania, Walker of New Vork and Small of lliwos were the favorite candidates and sure to get the mnost votes. Ma Ferguson was rated as a close second to the leaders bing sure of women supporters. * * * ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 10.-At Hill auditorium the Rolls National Party met this afternoon to vote on candidates for the nomination of their party. It was announced that in order to give the party a chance to equal the number of ballots cast by the Democratic party in 1924 they would start- numbering on the first ballot with the number 51. In case any questions were asked they would de- clare that the first 50 ballots were taken by mail to avoid delay at the convention. ANN ARBOR, Tich., Aug. 10.-On the 51st ballot at The Rolls '.ational Party nominating convention Mo Fer- giison of. Texas was apparently close to nominationI having received 541 votes, 5)50 being necessary for elec- tion. Others were: Small of Illinois 51, Thompson of .llinoois 43, Vare of Pennsylvania 42, Reed of Missouri 3(, Ford of 3Lichigan :16, Green of 3lichi- gain 30, Borah of Idah 28, Bryan of Nebraska 24, and Smith of New York 21. The other candidates received scattering votes and all withdrew from the race. ANN ARBOR, iNich., Aug. 10.-It was reported in official circles tonight that every effort was being made by, the Ford supporters to swing votes to Smith for the time being so that Ferguson would not receive the nonii- nation which has already cost several' interests millions of dollars.

Thus far the greatest ability of the world has been occupied in the grim business of kill- ing, as represented under the more cultured title of war; and while it is to be hoped that this system has changed, it cannot detract from the great achievements of the men who have taken such a glorious role in the unenlightened past.

Nevertheless, most of the journals of the country,1 and all of the great ones, still devotel favored space and their most brilliant' writers to the really consequential happenings of the nation. In view of this fact the indifference of the people is inexcusable. When less than half of the qualified votersj care enough about the future of their country to vote for its president, then it is time that some compulsory method of forcing attention on the government be devised. Majority gov- ernment, the bulwark of all true de- mocracy, is impossible when the ma- jority refuses to take part, and in ad- dition to this the startling bulk of misinformation which the American puclic will absorb on almost any ques- tion is a terrible revelation indeed. The recent case of Sacco and Van- zetti is another illustration of theI same point. It is true, of course, that major events in this case transpired six years ago, but since that time they have been consistently reviewed, and any person with a working knowledge of Ameracin affairs could have kept constantly in touch with the case through the press. Yet it is astonish- ing, and lamentable, that the bulk of the American people do not know now the facts of the case from its instiga- tion to the present time. They do not know how the jury reached its deci- sion, or what new evidence has been introduced since the trial; and they do not know the facts upon which to base an intelligent decision. It is all right, of course, to accept the opinion of a conservative governor, handed down after secret conferences, if one is unable to form an opinion of his own; but to the mass of the Amer- ican people, boasting as they' do fa-; cilities of exceptional clear sighted- ness, the lack of knowledge of a case of such vital importance is insulting indeed. Involving as it does the in- ternational question of freedom ofc speech, and persecution for politicalc beliefs, there is utterly no excuse for1 apathy, either on the part of the con-t servative citizens of the country, ort th-An who would sustain the nrinciples f eve of the Spanish-American war. Here Theodore Roosevelt was hunt- ing a fearless and dashing leader for his regiment of "rough riders," and the young captain who had captured Geronimo received the call. Then fol- lowed the brilliant campaign at San Juan, and Colonel Wood, with Lieu- tenant-Colonel Roosevelt, mounted the crest of the public imagination with their deeds. After the war Wood was left as Governor of Cuba, and in 1902,, after the government was turned over jto the first president, he returned. Then followed his greatest bit of work for the United States, which was a reorganization of the army along European lines, a reorganization that probably meant millions of lives in lives in 1918. He was sent to Europe to study methods, and on his return was made chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, with the result that when the war broke out America had a sys- tem of training camps capable of ex- pansion into the great war machine which they ultimately became. During this period, also, he had. been active in Philippine affairs, being sent on several special missions. When the United States entered the war, however, General Wood was im- mediately sent to France to study con- ditions on the battlefields, and then returned to take charge of the train- ing of troops, while General John Pershing, several years his junior, who had the advantage of a West Point education, took charge of the expedi- tionary forces. After the war powerful forces at- tempted to secure his nomination for president, and though defeated by Senator Harding, one of the first of- ficial acts of the new president was to appoint him governor-general of the Philippine Islands, where he served conscientiously until his death. An estimate of the work that this man 'achieved is extremely difficult, for few, if any, public servants have given in the course of their life what he has given to the United States. Let us earnestly hope that the great conflicts which occupied the energies of this great commander and execu- tive will never recur to claim the talents of future generations, but if1 they do America will be extremely fnoinatit to have annther Tnnonrd College gentlemen prefer P.0 flow iNY 9 V y , Ij J 4" R" BLOND gentlemen and dark-haired gentlemen, iffident* freshmen and august seniors Prince Albert is the overwhelming campus- favorite of every type and every pipe.
